Apple Unveils iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus

At a press event on Wednesday, Apple unveiled the latest iterations of its smartphone: the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. Here are the key takeaways from the event from a mobile development perspective:

Apple users have downloaded apps from the App Store more than 140 billion times.

App Store downloads are up 106 percent in the last two months, likely due to Pokémon Go.

The new iPhones offer about two hours more battery life and use faster processors that consume less power. They also have dual rear-facing cameras and no headphone jack. They are dust- and water-resistant, and the home button is now a touch surface.

The Apple Watch 2 is now water-resistant, and there will be more health features in watchOS 3. It's also getting Pokémon Go.

The company is releasing iOS 10 and watchOS 3 on Sept. 13; macOS Sierra will launch Sept. 20.
